    What Are You Drinking? June 2022

    Russell’s Reserve 13 year Barrel Proof. I picked this up last weekend, had a couple pours, and wasn’t blown away. It has an amazing nose. I was hit with a waft Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit gum. It‘s sweet and creamy up front, but once it hits the back of the palate, it’s pepper and barrel straight...

    Brown Clunee in a MM Emerald and a pour of Russell’s Reserve 13 year. Need a drink after seeing the estimate to replace the turbo on my daughter’s V.W.:cry: Have a great weekend, y’all. Cheers!

    It’s 10 degrees cooler today, so I’m on the porch smoking C&D Carolina Red Flake w/ Perique in a cob and sipping a tall glass of sweet tea. Cheers!

    I’m smoking Ennerdale in a MM apple diplomat, and enjoying one last day of pleasant weather, before the heat returns in full force tomorrow. Sipping an Arnold Palmer and listening to Lyle Lovett and his Large Band. Cheers!

    Good morning all. I had to wake up at 4:30 this morning to get the car loaded for my wife, as she and her mother left for a weeklong stay at the beach. Had a cup of coffee and a bowl of Burley Morning Pipe and then went back to bed. Now, I’m off to visit and spend the day with my Father. I...

    I’m taking advantage of the gorgeous weather we’re experiencing today ( a brief respite from the heat and humidity), and I’m going to camp out a while on the porch with a bowl of St. James Flake, in a cob, and a pour of Russell’s Reserve 13 year. Cheers!

    Thanks Monkey! I’m surprised to see you up so early, after the night you’ve had over in the What are You Drinking ? thread.;) Cheers, Brother!??

    Thanks, reloader! I have a feeling that we may be drinking the same beverage this morning ;)?. Cheers, Brother!

    Thanks Tim. I wish I had that luxury, but my phone has rung off the hook with work calls from the first day I got sick. One of the drawbacks of being a one man operation is that there’s no one to pick up the slack when you’re unable. I probably should be working today but I’ll be jumping in with...

    Good morning all. I’m sitting down with my first smoke in a couple of weeks, after an unwelcome Covid vacation. Glad to be back to normal and thank you everyone for the kind get well wishes. Burley Morning Pipe in a cob, and a cup of coffee with my favorite sweetener. Cheers!

    What Are You Drinking? May 2022

    I’ve always been a huge fan of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. Even the “off batches” are better than almost every other offering in that price range. However, I noticed that the age of these bottles are 8-9 years old. The age on the regular release Barrel Proofs is 12 years. I can’t help but think...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***

    Well, after dodging it for the past couple of years, Covid finally got me. Body aches, chills, sore throat, low grade fever, etc. Probably picked it up at the concert I attended Saturday night. It sucks, but could be worse, I suppose. Needless to say, I’ll be refraining from smoking for a few...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***

    I’m dragging my tail this morning, after a late night out with friends at a local music venue. We were so lazy this morning that we ordered Cracker Barrel “to go”. Going to enjoy a bowl of Sir John’s Flake in a cob, while it’s still cool out on the porch. Have a great Sunday! @timt -...

    Had to work all morning, ugh. Now I’m home, and going to sit down with a bowl of Astleys No. 44 in a Country Gentleman. A nice nap will follow, before heading out to the Robert Earl Keen show this evening. Cheers!

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***

    It’s been one hell of a week. Working pretty much sun up till sun down. The positive side is that I had a record setting week, the downside is that I had no time to relax with a smoke. That’s all about to change right now. I‘ve loaded a cob with Cabbies Mixture and poured a glass of Larceny...

    Edit - That should be dessert instead of desert. Wouldn’t want anyone thinking it tasted like dry sand. ? Cheers!

    What Are You Drinking? May 2022

    My preferred bourbon cream is Buffalo Trace, and just like anything else with the name Buffalo Trace on the bottle, they don’t tend to linger too long on the shelf. It comes in at 15% abv ( 30 proof ) and cost $20.00 at my N.C. ABC store. It’s friggin‘ delicious! Jim Beam and Ezra Brooks also...

    What Are You Drinking? May 2022

    Time for my Sunday morning “get caught up” post. Friday evening was a couple pours of Maker’s Mark Cask Strength. Good but nothing spectacular. I find it very easy drinking for a cask strength. Cheers! Last night, we began with Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B522. This is the new batch that was...
